People using Google Hangouts on the web can now add custom status messages and see the status messages of others in the Contacts view. Status messages can be added via the settings menu: By default, custom status messages will be displayed outside of the domain, though admins have the option to restrict them to be displayed within the domain only via Admin console at Apps > Google Apps > Talk/Hangouts > Sharing Settings. Note: Hangouts status messages are only visible to others using Hangouts. They are not shared to people using Google Talk. Similarly, status messages set in Google Talk will not be shared to Hangouts.This feature is coming soon for the Hangouts Android and iOS apps.Release track:Rapid release and Scheduled releaseFor more information:Help CenterGoogle for Work G+ postNote: all launches are applicable to all Google Apps editions unless otherwise noted
